Scribbled Lives 2023 - Wk 5 - Bleach - Bleach Is Wicked

I used to do a lot with bleach but haven`t played with it in several years...On Stillman & Birn Nova Tria Mixed Media 150gsm paper. It has 3 tones (light grey, beige and black). All 3 colors work beautifully with bleach... I've tried a lot of various black papers with bleach and this is my ABSOLUTE favorite. It reacts wonderfully and has such a nice tone to it.

ATC's - Triptych

And the last one from day 3... I like making triptychs. More room to put stuff on it...And I'm using Ranger's glossy accents on the large letters. Gives a nice sheen and dimension.

ATC's - Bleach On Black series

ATC's - Bleach On Black series. I signed up for another class with Julie Wildman, this time making ATC's. In uploading to my website I realized I stopped making them in 2011. Sheesh that's over 10 years ago. I started in around 2005 and was a really avid ATC'er. There were a bunch of us that were trading like crazy and then for some reason I can't remember, we stopped... Must admit it's fun doing them...

BVCG Lettering Challenge - Day 28 - Seen Better Days

 

BVCG Lettering Challenge - Day 28 - Seen Better Days. I love using Clorox to write with...especially on Stillman & Birn Nova Tria paper. This pic does not do it justice. In real life its on really black paper and a beautiful golden brown bleached area. I've tried everything in my photo editing program and just can't get what I want. SIGH...

BVCG Lettering Challenge Sept 16 - In A Pickle

BVCG Lettering Challenge Sept 16 - In A Pickle. 

Annette Wichman from Kensington Art Supply mention a good bleach result on Stillman & Birn black paper... so went out and bought their Nova Trio coiled book. It really was beautiful on black... the picture doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful beige mottled look. It almost makes me smile as much as the result I got on that unknown paper I mentioned the other day...

Sept/21 - Clorox On Black - If It Tastes Funny

I was in a mood to play with bleach...I recently heard that bleach deteriorates over time... mine was very very old, so no wonder I wasn't getting any good results... So I went out and bought some. The first piece of black cardstock gave me such a gorgeous bleach effect, my heart was fluttering - golden with a hint of orange. But I don't know what brand cardstock it was - it came out of my scrap ends. So I tried a bunch of other brands
and finally settled on Darrice Premium C.S.
